Co-Directors: Nathan Webster and Charlotte Boye-Christensen

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2511912/fan_mail/new] Welcome to the eight edition of NOW NOW. We’re recording this on Sunday, May 10th, 2026. My name is Charlotte Boye-Christensen, Artistic Director of NOW-ID, and the host of this podcast. Today, we’re shifting the format a little. Instead of a single voice guiding the episode, this is a conversation. Nathan Webster joins me, and together we’ll spend some time thinking out loud, touching on what it means to work closely with another artist, Nathan is a founding director of NOW-ID where he wears many hats. He was born in Vancouver and is an Architect who has worked in Western Canada and in the United States  This conversation is less about arriving at clear answers and more about sitting inside the questions, following where they lead, and seeing what emerges in the space between two perspectives. So, this episode is a bit more open, a bit more conversational.
